001 ☕︎ video

[The video feed opens up to a morose looking dude in a pale blue shirt and a bland tie with it's knot loosened heavily. Looks like someone's returned from a disappointing time out.]

Ladies and gentleman, it is with a heavy heart that I bring you this terrible news: The 4.7 rated restaurant, Maison d'etre has been lying to us all. Like you, I was fooled by the high praise it was receiving on such popular food blogs as "Good Morning Viet-nom!", "Let's Taco 'Bout Food" and "Making Ends Meat" who all labelled it a culinary adventure of locally sourced food.

However! [His voice breaks halfway through the word, wavering between anger and the desperate need to cry in disappointment.] I have since eaten there and can say with complete certainty that the only culinary adventure to be found in that excuse for a restaurant is the amount of imported ingredients they have on their menu! Even their corn is imported from Ukraine. Who can't find locally sourced corn in America?! I tell you, ladies and gentleman, I am just one big D right now. Disappointed!

[A sigh that's as weighty as the world itself, and... was that a small, barely restrained sob as he quickly bows his head? At least he's quick to compose himself, straightening himself up in his chair and puffing out his chest after a deep inhale.] But it's not all bad news. I, Charles Boyle, will be sure to continue conveying these injustices to the world!

And a few weeks from now, I'll also be sharing my knowledge of food to any folks willing to learn. Watch this space for Boiled Over, an imPort cooking show in front of a small live audience, set to delight and astound. [And just like that, his previous disappointment steadily creeps towards eagerness, because cooking is awesoooome.]

I'm sorry, I'm just so excited for this opportunity! Wow, what a rollercoaster of emotions this place is!

Well, I was gonna take a date there so thanks for your service. Found anywhere you'd recommend?

...wot's a taco?

[Asks the dirty but handsome looking fella in the filthy swashbuckling gear looking just like a pirate from the days of yore. Jack peers into the screen curiously as he awaits an answer. He has so many questions about this world and not enough answers.]

Also, this is...the Americas? We're in a colony?

Don't apologize! You're doing what you love, right?

[ Though gosh, he's certainly... passionate about it. ]

Though. Let's say we're interested in being part of that live audience. [ Or at least dragging her best friends into this, because it sounds like it'll be an Adventure. ] How could we swing a couple of tickets?

[This whole thing was a rollercoaster of emotions. But okay. Laurel figures that Boyle is probably a new imPort, trying to come to terms with everything here.]

A cooking show? Now that's something I could use.

[The video feed comes in with just the top of Rosa's head in-frame. Still, it's probably enough that Boyle would recognize her. Notably, however, the name coming through the feed doesn't read "Rosa Diaz." Nothing close. Instead, it's Emily Goldfinch. But there's no mistaking the voice.]

It isn't a rollercoaster if you don't have emotions. You just have too fuckin' many of them.

Um. You might not want to call yourself one big D on the network.

I'm not usually into cooking shows, but you've caught my interest. That was really passionate.

Sorry about the imported corn. That is pretty weird.

Are tickets to your show available? I'd really like to see it.

[The ID attached to this guy reads Han Solo. Funnily enough, he even looks like a young Harrison Ford, although one sitting in a cab with a cup of coffee and conspicuously new upholstery.]

Great, now I gotta cancel a reservation. [At least he doesn't have to tell Leia the bad news, since this is still technically supposed to be a surprise.]

The hell's a taco?

[Well! That was certainly exciting.]

So does your show have, like, a theme or something to it? Don't all the popular ones have a gimmick about visiting great places people haven't heard of or... crying in front of some shouty British guy or whatever?

"Boiled Over" sounds more like my last attempt at making rice.

[But she's absolutely charmed by this broadcast, and her face is a wide grin.]

My sister-in-law has one of those cooking shows, the sort with a competition. You two should be mates, the way you both talk about food.

I've. Never seen anyone so passionate about food.

I take it you know a lot of culinary traditions of this world...?

You're rather...enthusiastic?

Are you some kind of celebrity chef where you're from, or something?

You can what now?

[There is nothing else attached to explain what this person is asking about. But you know, it's probably food.]

Gosh.

[This man has a lot of hard opinions on food.

...Rincewind can appreciate that.

When you say you'll be cooking and teaching people about food, approximately how much of that will involve potatoes, do you think?

[ He's.... very passionate??? ]

Where will this show be taking place? I'm not - I've never really had to cook for myself, so I would like to learn.

[ oh this is great,. Kaneki loves cooking ]

Will you only rate restaurants or do you actually cook?
